THE LABOR Vote IN CHICAGO

eLabor voters themselves did the thing
leaders OF the Labor party now say. by way
OF explaining the political earthquake in Chi
cago. Honor TO them for it. The reason why
this country has no fear Of a Labor party is that
the labor voters are swift to abandon and to
bury It, whenever it is found the party OF
Socialists or Anarchists. Then honest work
ingmen forget party lines. and put away all
breiudiccs. as Democrats and Republicans
united at Chicago to teach the red flag that II
has no business on American soil.
But why should Labor party ever become
the party of the Socialists and the Anarchists
Nine -tenths of the workingmcn in this country
have no sympathy with resistance to law, nor
with the denial of the rights of property. w ny
cannot party faithfully represent the interests
of law abiding and sensible workingmcn. with
out identifying itself with enemies Of social
orderq That Is question which 1t behooves
patriotic workingmcn TO consider seriously 1of
their own welfare. If they get the right
answer to It clearly in their minds, 1t will save
them many defeats. much loss OF ume' anu
wears of sore misunderstanding through
notion that both political parties deny thclr
just claims.
No other thing that labor can hope TO gam
through political action Is so important 10 us
welfare as the protection OF homo industry
against foreign competition. That is the bot
tom fact of the business, and all misguided
labor leaders who forget or deny it surely come
to grief. For most of the wage earncrs in
this country see that fact clearly and therefore
refuse to break down the only party by which
protection has been established or can be main
taincd. That forces the organizers of new
labor party to depend for support upon the
minority of wage carners, who do not compre-
bend the need of protective legislation
This minority not compromising the most
vital facts of American industrial history. does
not embrace the most intelligent sincere or
patriotic portion of the working people on the
contrary, it does embrace nearly all those who
have come from foreign lands too recently to
have gained just knowledge OF American
freedom, its rights and its duties. In this MI
nority are found the boycotters and labor mo-
nopolsts, the fanatics and cranks, the men OF
blind and furious hatred of social order, the
passionate and ignorant who imagine that Gov
eminent means oppression here as In some
other lands stream docs not rise higher
than its source. Out of such material the ere
alton of sober orderly, property defending
aw-enforcing Labor party is almost impossible.
The most intelligent worlIingmcn everywhere
see that it is well-ngh impossible, and pro.
foundly distrust the Socialists and Anarchists,
the men Of mobs and of bombs, who throng
into the new party. Meanwhile they realize
that honest worllingmcn in this country al
ready have one great party which is devoted
to their interests, and has faithfully defended
them. They refuse to abandon that party
when the test comes, for risky experiment

THE RUMSELLEHy CONE FRIEND


The TRIBUNE printed yesterday rather
curious address, issued by an organization call
ing itself the Wine, Beer and Liquor Dealers
Protective Union Of Ncw-Y York. II was an
appeal TO all the members Of the union TO como
together and take some action-what, was not
acknowledgement the IIgh-Liccnsc bill. The
most remarkable part of the document con-
sisted in the statement: awe have one friend
left and this is ID. b. Hill, the Governor of our
State. We must show him that if he is our
friend we will carry the banner with him next
election" 1t must be observed that here is
precisely tho same confusion of thought
which characterized tho arguments of the rum
sellers at Albany. The wine, beer and liquor
protectors begin 10y confidently asserting that
ID. b. Hill is their friend and more than that,
their zone friend" Yet in the ensuing sen
tcnce they cast doubt on this assertion by in
timating that in order TO secure the said friend
ship of the aforesaid d. B. Hill, 1t IS necessary
to perform a mysterious ceremony referred to
Us carrying the banner with him next election"
A friend whose amity has to DO purchased Is
indeed doubtful acquisition, and his altrusm
is too obviously open 10 suspicion. But when
such friend happens TO be the Governor Of
the State and when those who claim his friend
ship happen to be class deeply interested In
q law which awaits his action and when in tho
net Of asserting and claiming his friendship
these interested land Interestingly people ingen-
uously offer him bribc to give decision on
their side; the whole transaction takes on an
aspect of public business, SO to say, and the
State at large acquires certain interest in it.
